Happy BellaRIFFIC {snowy?} friday!!! wooHOO! Now normally I wouldn't be concerned about if it was falling white stuff from above, but this sister is making her way to Toronto at 11:30 or so today and I am hoping to miss the snow. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I have some major coloring to share & teach...
...now, as Mickey Mouse would say..."on with the show!" The Olympics have inspired the Babe's & our challenge was given to us, winter sports. Now, if ya didn't have something to use for this sporty theme, you could do a winter theme as well. I happened to have hockeymomabella. Was I lucky or what! I have had her {mostly} colored for a couple weeks, but I needed to finish her up this week and I had no idea how she would turn out. I was working and mulling a layout over and then it just came to me, because I wanted to personalize her bag & jersey. Why not "team BELLA"? I bet you would be hard pressed to find a hockey mom as snazzy as this sistah.
I started by stamping out my bella on Bella's bestest paper and coloring with my prismacolor pencils. I had my paper, from Memory Box, picked out and ready to inspire me. I wanted "wintery" & brown...I LOVE how these two go together, don't you? Brown is the new color to go with anything! I added glitter, white dots {made with a white souffle pen} and I used my trusty .005 pen for the personalized name and #1 on the jersey. What do ya think of my new font from Sizzix? It's called Wingo Zingo and these are fast becoming addictive to me. I found it at Archivers and just happened to have a 30% off coupon in my pocket! score...
Get on over to Emily's blog and see what has inspired the other Babe's and the sistahood gallery. There are always new names joining us in the fun, and there is no reason you can't as well! :)
Well, I still need to make sure I am fully packed and my stuff is all gathered in one spot. Leaving for work at 6:30 a.m. could cause me to forget something, and I don't wanna have to come back to the house. See ya later peeps!!
Another beautiful card Paula! What a classy Hockey Mom! Love your title and your coloring off course. I really like the blue inking around the image, makes it very soft looking!
Have a nice trip to Toronto! I'm hoping that come summer, you and Linda will still be giving classes and I'll be able to make the trip from Montreal!
Hoping for no snow for you!
